Obviously they make a whole lot more than that, though, since they seem to be very well pleased by the performance their game put up at half price. There are obviously reasonable limits, but on the whole games are badly over-priced.
Also, while the game companies may only have gotten the same $300 from you, they would have sold much more on the whole. In the end massive blockbusters are less profitable per unit, but then the game that was going to bomb completely is a moderate success and opens up future avenues of success. It's a trade, but in the end they will actually get more money from the guy who had $250 and went from buying 4 games and having $10 left to 5 games and no money left over.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
